This is our version of the Adorable Puppy, I was really happy with the result!
I can't believe I haven't ever posted this. This was the very first cake I ever made for a public function. My friend had a tiny budget and BEGGED me to make her cake because she found out that my mom decorated cakes so I must know what I'm doing, right? It's all red velvet with cream cheese filling and the bottom layer is styrofoam because I was too chicken to try to do an 18". We all started somewhere, right?
Sheet cake for a kick-off celebration. This starts the season of 5k walks to help find a cure for Lymphoma and Leukemia.
6 inch heart - WASC with orange flavor and raspberry filling. Loved how this turned out
WASC cake with vanilla BC. Really happy with how the FBCT turned out.
Birthday cake for a die hard fan! It's only a 6" square using an FBCT. Homemade banana cake with cream cheese icing.
Based off of tnt320to's wedding cake. My entry into the VA State fair, gumpaste calla lilies, royal icing and fondant on dummies.
Going away cake for co-workers retirement. She loved it! I thought the bees turned out cute, though it was definitely a learning experience. I had to put all the bees back on after delivery. Pineapple cake with Pina-Colada filling, YUMMY! I drew a ton of inspiration from all the other beehive and garden cakes on this site. I love CCers!
3 huge cakes for a party for soldiers returning from Iraq. WASC with Raspberry filling. They all had this FBCT of their squadron pin. My partner Divaricks posted the other 2 cakes.
Cupcake cake I wrote about on my thread. I'd never heard of Mermaidia and I had 30 hours to make it. At least she paid well for it!
Someone would have to pay me serious money to have me do very many of these on a cake, I'm sick of looking at them!
Lemon-poppy seed cake with lemon flavored fondant. I did each of the four sides with different elements we learned in class for practice. Some of them need more practice:) but it came out pretty close to what I envisioned!
This was huge! The board is 20" and the hearts are 12". Yellow cake tinted green covered in bc. The client loved it but I thought it lacked a little oomph, any ideas?
6" snowman as a reward for an 8 year old boy. His mom told me he loved it!
I found the bell pan over the summer and have been looking for an excuse to use it! Pumpkin spice cake with eggnog filling... SO YUMMY! I really struggled with the writing but liked the bells (candy melts with Lustre Dust)
6" individual congratulatory cake
Pumpkin Spice Cake (YUMMY!) with apricot filling and cream cheese icing. First time using gumpaste, next time I won't let the leaves dry before putting on the cake so they can bend naturally.
A reward for a 12 year-old girl after she finished some memorized statements for church. She loved it!
A reward for a 12 year-old-boy after he finished some memorized statements for church. He specifically said he wanted yellow but I didn't want it to be too girly. It's a 6" but his mom said he ate the whole thing and wouldn't share with his little sisters (5 yrs & 2 yrs). They have to earn their own!
I've always wanted to do this! Each of these is using a different brand of Fondant (MMF, SatinIce, Wilton) and then brought to work with the instructions that everyone was to have a slice of each and then rate the Fondant that they preferred. I don't have much experience with Fondant and all of them were experiments - not thrilled with any of them but okay I guess. All of them are Yellow cake with bc. See if you can guess which is which and I'll post the results tomorrow.
Thanks so much to Beez for the inspiration and directions. The handle caused me lots of headaches, but the whole cake was defintely a learning experience. Strawberry cake torted with strawberry filling and bc. Lid and handle are royal. It was huge, only 9 x 13 but almost 5 inches tall after all the torting!
Finally getting around to uploading pic. First time using Swiss Meringue BC icing, I liked that it's not as heavy as BC but very soft and didn't crust at all. Pot and fondant rainbow weren't quite what I envisioned but really liked the luster dust on gold coins. Fondant bricks and mushrooms.
My first non-solicited, paid cake! FBCT of Eagle medal. It must have been too thin, it broke twice and ended up a little bit crooked. But the client loved it!
Client works in a factory and has a co-worker on a prison work-release program. So this is a congratulations/goodbye cake upon his parole. I was worried that he would be offended but they said he thought it was really funny, it even has a file baked in the cake! I tried to copy a "get out of jail free" card from Monopoly.
My favorite was the top layer with the fence and flowers. I had a lot of problems getting the base icing smooth, and I wasn't very happy with the color of the pink border but it was very late. Luckily my co-workers like whatever I bring in!
